Should be a solid matchup

Watched some Graham Ike highlights. He’s a real handful. Looks like a pro. X is going to have to be the X factor.

Graham also appears to be in foul trouble a lot too averaging 3.3 fouls per game

Not top 100 but They lost at New Mexico (162) and lost to Stanford (105).   I’ve probably watched them play over 20 times this year.   They have the ability to have good nights but they also can lay some eggs.   IU probably should win but we shall see

The three biggest lies in Wyoming...

I won this belt buckle in a rodeo,

My truck is paid for, and 

I was just helping that sheep over the fence.

Will Parker and Kopp show up? 
 

We need shooting to advance to the real dance and furthermore. Especially vs Saint Mary’s 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,080]

Wyoming has 36.6% 3PT shooter injured, guess he was limping hard off court during the Boise State game

Apparently he was a starter for a while and lost it

Wait...you can LOSE a starting job?? 

 

I kid, I kid. 

Go Hoosiers!!

From what I can tell this is a good matchup for us.  Their strengths on offense seem to run right into our strengths on defense.  They are also an average defensive team.  I think we win this comfortably.  

[DWB 1,098]

Went over to their forum board to see what they're saying. Not much really. More posts about Parker being recruited by them initially.

Watched the Boise State/WY highlights that someone posted, and we should absolutely be able to shut down their interior game. They get a fair amount of points with cutters coming thru the lane. I think our D stops that in a heartbeat.

I'd put Race on Ike due to similar body mass and strength, and let TJD be 2nd guy off the floor and make about 6-8 blocks. TJD should dominate the inside on offense as well. He's far to quick for them. If they double, Race will be close by.

X, Rob, and Bates should be able to take any of them off the bounce.

I don’t doubt the analysis, but I’m trying to think of tourney type teams we won comfortably against. ND comes to mind. We tend to make everything a slog, which isn’t all that uncommon for teams who primarily rely of defense.

I think the difference here is athleticism (or lack of) on the wings.  Our matchups in the Big 10 against tourney teams have more athletic wings without exception.  I can't think of one team that we matchup with athletically on the wings in the top half of the big 10.  Where we've found slight advantages are inside depending on team and defensively.  It appears we won't have a major athletic disadvantage on the wing and we have advantages inside and defensively.  

I gut says we win comfortably but obviously we could easily lose on any given day.

St Mary's will be a coin flip imo (if we get there).  I think Vegas would slightly favor them by 1-2 pts.

Just a really tough draw for us logistics wise. Arrive at Dayton today, practice tonight. 

- Play tomorrow night at 9PM EST

- If we win, board the charter plane around 12:30-1AM EST.

- Arrive in Portland around 2AM PST

- Play at 4:20 PST on Thursday.

 

Yikes.

Far from ideal but we just played 3 hard games in 3 days so bring'em on.
